Column: Library can help with summer vacation planning

Last call for getting your federal and state tax forms. The deadline is April 15, and it is coming up fast. Filing online is also available at the library with our public Internet access.

Spring is on its way, and summer can't be far behind. Do you have plans to travel this summer? Maybe, just a day trip would be on your agenda or perhaps you would like to plan a trip that will last longer. We have Wisconsin travel books to find that perfect destination for your family here in the state, whether it be water parks, camping or big city visits.

Perhaps, you have dreamed of taking a trip to Disneyland or going to the western states or you have a cruise in mind. We have books that can help you plan for those, too. Again, we have public Internet access that can help with flight plans, getting tickets and making reservations.
